We're just popping on again as, sadly, the thread is still heading in the same direction, and at the moment the only purpose of it seems to be a personal disagreement between posters.
We only delete posts if they breach our guidelines or are not in the spirit of the site, and while we absolutely don't mind plain speaking or healthy debate, when a thread becomes more focused on a bun fight between users, rather than the topic of the OP, it detracts from the conversation completely, which doesn't help anyone.
As many of you already know, we are a post-moderated site, and so we rely on your reports to moderate the forums, so if you feel that a user has targeted or attacked you, please do report the post, and we will always take a look as soon as we can. And we also just want to point out that there is no favouritism on the site, and this applies to all users.
Please also remember that no matter how robust a poster may seem on the forums, we don't always know how they may be feeling or what they may be going through offline, particularly during these difficult times.
